Ever since the finale of Produce X 101 and later, the dissolution of project group X1, we've been seeing a steady stream of debuts from units or groups comprised of members that gained new found popularity through the show. And while some have been quite great, most have been pretty middling to just flat out … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: KILLA – MIRAE

SONG REVIEW: Gunshot – KARD
KARD's transition to a more harder edged sound has so far yielded some less than impressive results. Bomb Bomb and Dumb Litty were two of my least favourite tracks from last year and while it has since grown on me, Red Moon wasn't much better. And while I understand that this is more an issue … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Gunshot – KARD
SONG REVIEW: Now Or Never – April
After a near 2 year hiatus, April came roaring back with the fantastic Kara-esque Lalalilala.

That's because 13 years ago, on this day, the world was introduced to one of the greatest girl groups of all time. Their name was … Continue reading KPOP HALL OF FAME: STEP – KARA
SONG REVIEW: RED MOON – KARD
Oh KARD. I really want to like you, but with every passing release, it just seems as though our musical preferences are destined to never meet. The scarcity of Co-ed groups within the industry really made them stand out, and to be honest I was rooting for them during their debut years. Their debut album, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: RED MOON – KARD
